Change Object

Every file(CPT, REF) once created in synon gets Create object, Change object and delete object function by default

All the fields from the Update access path must be declared as parameters to the 'Change object' function, they cannot be dropped. Any fields which are not included in updating the database file record should be defined as 'Neither' (N) parameters.
